Product Description
Delivering jaw-dropping fight scenes, white-knuckle free-running sequences and breathtaking stunts, Invisible Target is an unstoppable action-thriller that showcases the formidable talents of the next generation of martial arts superstars. The paths of a renegade cop (Nicholas Tse, The Promise), a rookie police officer (Jaycee Chan, son of Jackie Chan) and a veteran detective (Shawn Yue, Infernal Affairs) converge with explosive results, as they each take on their most deadly assignment to date: the arrest of Hong Kongs most lethal mercenary gang and their ruthless leader, played by Kung Fu impresario, Wu Jing (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Kill Zone). The city becomes a battleground, as both sides break all the rules to defy each other in the ultimate fight for survival, justice and revenge! Loud, fast, action-packed, adrenaline pumping, and explosive (Twitch.com), Invisible Target is an incredible new-wave action spectacular from visionary director Benny Chan (New Police Story).

Format:DVD
What's is it about?
Three diverse police officers must put their differences and agendas aside in order to bring down the ruthless thieves that are causing chaos across Hong Kong.
Four young actors with potential, Jaycee Chan, Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, and Wu Jing in the film, and the director of "New Police Story" Benny Chan behind the cam, did this movie deliver to the audience?
One miss
1) Story
Probably the only weakness holding this movie back is the pacing, lack of originality of the story. Certain characters could be more developed to make them more memorable and interesting.
Three hits!
1) Action
Brutal, off the Hollywood safety boundaries level that made "New Police Story" edge of your seat. The high velocity set pieces displayed here ensures this alongside "Flashpoint" action blockbuster of 2007. Wu Jing steals most of the scenes here.
2) Impact
All four actors made their individual mark reasonably well. Not necessarily a gold medal performance but did enough to justify watching their work and to springboard their careers.
3) Bonus features
Heaps of extra content on the Dragon Dynasty version.
If you can overlook the misses and just want to enjoy the an action movie causing mayhem in Hong Kong, seeing Invisible Target can't go wrong.

Format:DVD
director benny chan delivers another solid piece of commercial cinema, invisible target moves along really fast; with action scenes constantly thrown in whether they are martial arts, car chase, foot chases, shoot outs or insane stunts they all satisfy.
those looking for a solid martial arts picture should be pleased with the solid choreography and the stellar delivery by both the martial artist and non martial artists. Nicholas tse (non martial artist) steals the show with his courage in doing all his own stunts and the director is more than happy to show his face after each dangerous stunt. both shawn yue and jaycee chan also handle them selfs well. as for wu jing he is as reliable as always. i minor fault with the fights is the use of some odd wire work that is supposed to enhance some movements but feels at odds with the reality based nature of the film.
the negative side of this though is that the story takes a back seat and those dramatic moments feel less than developed. thankfully the protagonists are slightly better developed but the acting is poor all round especially nicholas tse who tries hard but do not convince. jaycee chan fairs slightly better especially given his likable charcter who the audience can sympathise with. it is the villains that come of worst they are not fleshed out enough to justify there motivations and the male bonding between certain protagonists and antagonists comes of a bit corny.
over all it is a pleasing action fest film but if story is your main priority you may be dissapointed.

This film has been slated in some quartets and sites, but don't let that put you off....this film has some big names in it and yes, it kinda misses the mark in the heavy dramatic stakes but the action makes up for it. I was not dissapointed in this film, it's just a shame that Wu Jing once again doesn't have the film (critically) that solidifes what we all know in that he is one of the next big kung fu/action stars waiting to emerge from Hong Kong...
Kimil's review pretty much sums it up
7.5-8/10
